We Can Be Heroes or Women of Faith in the Post-Biblical era
===========================================================

There are obviously too many women of faith to consider any of
them individually as the typical representative of all of them

Moreover, most of them, given the ever-present misogyny of the
time, are hidden behind the much more famous men

And even those who famous on their own, like Hildegard of Bingen,
Catherine of Sienna, or our own Saint Agnes of Bohemia, were
daughters of kings or local nobleman, who are hard to follow by
us mere mortals.

If the only thing possible is the great thing, we are hopeless
if we cannot achieve that.  What can I do? What can I do against
the genocide in Ukraine?

"Do something" allows everybody to participate and nobody has an
excuse. It is not your call to save the world, Jesus already did
that. Our task is to press on.
